Recommendation
We recommend that the Race Disparity Unit extend the Ethnicity Facts and Figures website to include a section on the BAME impacts of coronavirus specifically reporting the disaggregated share of BAME people being tested; the disaggregated share of BAME people infected and the disaggregated share of BAME deaths from the virus. The Government must ensure that this data is disaggregated by ethnicity to allow for a much more granular analysis of the situation. (Paragraph 52) Employment
